From the recording Some Sweet Dream

Lyrics

There’s no silver lining in my black cloud
There’s no silver lining in my black cloud
The sun’s never shining, the rain pours down
There’s no silver lining, in my black cloud

My weeks are filled with endless rain
I'll never see the sun again
As I stagger through the day,
The sky stays dark and gray
I can’t chase the clouds away
Is this how it’s gonna stay?

There’s no silver lining in my black cloud
There’s no silver lining in my black cloud
I'm constantly crying, 'cause I'm not proud
There’s no silver lining in my black cloud

And when I lay me down to sleep
Somebody's rustled all my sheep
So I lie awake 'til dawn
Counting logs I haven't sawn
And the clock begins to yawn
While the hours stretch on and on

Is there no answer to my prayer?
Isn't there anybody there?
I know I'm not the only one
Who yearns sees the sun
I've got teardrops by the ton
And there's nowhere left to run

There’s no silver lining in my black cloud
There’s no silver lining in my black cloud
I'm weeping and wailing, I shout out loud
There’s no silver lining in my black cloud
